Statement Histology is required for the diagnosis and differentiation of LPE from LGITL in cats. It requires proper sampling, processing, and interpretation of key lesions (which includes inflammatory infiltrates, neoplastic cells, and other intestinal wall changes). Ambiguous cases often require ancillary tests such at immunohistochemistry and clonality tests.
